Identifying Expressions and Equations
To determine whether a mathematical statement is an expression or an equation, check for the presence of an equal sign:
- is an equation because two expressions are connected with an equal sign.
- is an expression because there is no equal sign.
- is an expression because there is no equal sign.
- is an equation because two expressions are connected with an equal sign.
